The Ten Commandments of Sharing Clothes With Your Roommate

One of the great joys of college is having a female roomie who is into a good closet swap now and then. Living with someone also presents challenges though, and borrowing clothes ranks up there with not washing your dishes and not knocking before entering the bathroom as causes for roomie drama. Keep these commandments in mind and the drama can be kept to a minimum.

Thou shalt not fail to set up an arrangement: Have a chat soon after you move in together about what’s off limits, whether you want her to ask before borrowing, whether you want her to wash your clothes before returning, etc.

Thou shalt not take the tags off something she owns: I don’t care how liberal and open-ended your wardrobe-swapping relationship is. This isn’t cool.
